The “golden globe” was designed to focus attention on performances the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) considers to be worthy of applause. But now, there may be another category for a “golden globe”. This type of recognition is not necessarily a good thing.

Sometimes the best way to evaluate how an opponent feels about someone is the length to which they will go to silence them. This is one reason the constitutional protection of free speech is absolutely vital to democracy. Despots are always focused on silencing opinions from people they fear. But sometimes when there is an attempt to suppress speech, and people take the risk and still come forward, that actually just puts a “golden globe” around their testimony and often makes it impossible to ignore.

We already saw some of this regarding the whistleblowers in the IRS. There have been other whistleblowers in the FBI etc., but the MSM tried to discredit them and more importantly ignore what they had to say. Sadly, this was often successful. That tactic did not work as well regarding the IRS whistleblowers. One reason is that they were skilled at answering questions and they had an inconvenient number of facts supporting their opinion. The DOJ doubled down on this disaster by sending out constantly evolving letters from U.S. Attorney David Weiss regarding what he was and was not allowed to investigate.

The same people have been tried to discredit Donald Trump since day one. Now this as reached the point where he seems to be indicted for something else on a daily basis. At some point one has to ask, if the evidence of his criminal behavior was so obvious, why do you need to charge him with two thousand other crimes? Anyone remotely familiar with criminal prosecution knows that a smart prosecutor focuses on the more serious charges to avoid having the jury distracted. If the DOJ or any of the local prosecutors on a mission to destroy Trump really believed in their case, they would be furious at all the “other” indictments that only tend to cloud the issue.

Now, Devon Archer, the former business partner of Hunter Biden is going to go live. The DOJ is terrified and Saturday they seriously tried to put him in jail to shut him up. Now they are claiming this is just a normal process, but I doubt many people will buy that. The reality is that this shows absolute desperation to shut him up. It just put the ultimate “golden globe” around his testimony, and this could be impossible to ignore.

Ironically, if they had just spread the word that he is just a convicted felon trying to worm his way out of trouble, it might have worked. CNN would have certainly bought that. But this is now so obviously a desperate measure to prevent him from talking that a lot of people, including many in the MSM are likely to be paying riveting attention. According to reports, he is going to say that he personally witnessed Hunter Biden literally bring his dad, Joe Biden, on a phone call to convince people that Joe was in on the deal. Not just once or twice, but routinely.

Just when Democrats were already on the edge trying and failing to shore up the rapidly declining Joe Biden, they are being confronted with the awful truth that it sure looks like he is also a crook and a threat to national security. It really does not get any worse than this and it would not be surprising to see Democrats start to distance themselves from him as rapidly and as far as possible.

There is one more serious problem. Recently people have been showing videos of Joe Biden denying any knowledge of his son’s business in 2019. Two things are obvious. One is that he is clearly lying. But the other, perhaps worse, is that comparing video of him trying to talk then versus now is overwhelming evidence of his mental deterioration. This “golden globe” is not only focused on Devon Archer, but it is also focused on Joe Biden and that may be even worse.
